Great group! Saw them sans John S. about three years ago. Sounded great and I see they are going to be in Marion at the Palace Theater , I believe, this fall. Of course , w/o John it can't be the same - still all of the others are originals

16, 18 and 27 remain from this hot summer quiz. We know that one answer is Martha and the Vandellas.

Google your arses off!

I also wanted to say for future reference; the following summer songs were great guesses and could have pushed the question number to 34.

I recalled "Sealed with a Kiss"; by Bryan (Brian) Hyland. Others mentioned by all of you included: Cheryl Crow's "Soak Up The Sun" (I don't recall any of my friends' moms looking like her at 54!!), "Palisades' Park", by Freddy Cannon and as established written by the wonderful goof ball, Chuck Barris, and "Peter and Gordan's "Yesterday Is Gone". I'm quite sure there are many more out there.

Also, if you want to really immerse yourself in all of this, pick up former Esquire columnist and Chicago newspaper writer, Bob Green's "When We Get to Surf City". Green, I would guess is in his late 60's. One night while attending an Oldies' show with Jan and Dean, featuring Jan and Dean he was ask to help sing "Surf City". Thus, began a 15 - year trek on the back roads to fairgrounds, festivals and dining halls singing with the band.

In reviewing the proceedings for what seems like the 500th. time , I believe we have one piece left. I am still looking for the performers for "Summertime", No. 11. MONCLOVA gave us the name of the tune and then had a real good effort with his guess.

I checked again a bit ago and I still come up with two different performers. Both were major Black performers. In my youth, one use to break a glass with her voice and the other had the cheeks for blowing the horn. I believe the lady use to "scat" and the gentleman had a beer barrel, rollicking kind of voice.

I didn't realize that we were still make guesses (since I thought I was tapped out). I remember "Summertime, Summertime" as being recorded by The Jamies.

Oops, I've got the wrong song. We were looking for "Summertime". How about Ricky Nelson or Sam Cooke?

This might look like I didn't follow the rules, but I did have three guesses: The Jamies, Ricky Nelson and Sam Cooke.

That being said, I did use reference materials to come up with Ricky and Sam. I'd have had the correct answer IF the question was "Summertime, Summertime". Oh well, if "ifs and buts were candy and nuts, every day would be Christmas".

Thanks for this, Bevo. Your latest clues about the pair who recorded the song made the light bulb go off for me. Alas, I'm too late for the party, as usual.

Great quiz as usual!

I'm echoing Monclova Steve in that Bevo posted an outstanding trivia quiz. As I previously stated, creating a quiz, posting it and then "grading" or determining the correct answers is not an easy chore.

Well, here we go with the latest trivia quiz - half hoops and half music. It isn't nearly as challenging as Bevo's quiz, but it should be interesting. As is the usual procedure, NO GOOGLING and only THREE GUESSES per day (clock resets at midnight):

Outstanding, rdlwolverine, with your recognition of Kennedy McIntosh. I attended EMU back then and had very fond memories of his exploits, along with Harvey Marlatt and -- a year or two later -- George Gervin.
You may have stolen my answer, but it's nice that someone else knew it.

I remember Sanders when he played ball at the now closed Stivers HS (Dayton) in the 1970's. The big debate in Dayton was: "Who is the best HS player in the Dayton area?" Jim Paxson, Jr. of Alter (Kettering) or Frankie Sanders.

So far, all of the answers (listed below) are correct. Bevo seems to have a problem with Sheryl Crow being mentioned again, but that's OK. Sheryl Crow has a standing invitation to the AARP Thread. Monclova Steve mentioned a few things of interest: (1) low-hanging fruit and (2) EMU. No offense Monclova Steve, but the original "champion of low-hanging fruit" is our CEO and founder, doubledribble himself. He made it an art form. Also, I've visited Eastern Michigan many times over the years and I just never enjoyed playing, coaching or being a spectator at Bowen Fieldhouse. To me, it just didn't seem like a good environment for hoops. It's no knock on EMU, but I just didn't like that venue. At least, there is a new facility and the Convocation Center is a huge upgrade. On a side-bar, BlackHawk's mention of Frankie Sanders brings back memories of him in the state tournament. He sure was fun to watch!

Below are the correct answers that have been submitted so far. Also, here is the "after dinner update" and I'll update one more time before midnight. As per usual, after midnight all will be permitted three more guesses, but still no Googling.

While there is a slight lull in the action, let's be clear, Sheryl Crow can join up with us any time! I've forgotten the answer but she was a back up singer to a pretty big name. I want to say Prince. Anyone?

I also wanted to know if anyone saw the clip of Second Lieutenant Sam Kendricks, USA pole vaulter during his warmup? Upon his approach and just before he rammed his pole into the box, the US anthem began to play for another participant. Kendricks, in full stride, came to a halt, lay his pole down, and stood at "attention" as the anthem was played. My oh my; he also won a bronze. Outstanding.

I thought this was quite a contrast to Ryan Lochte saying 8 separate times while being interviewed by Matt Lauer, that he had "over exaggerated" his statement. What in the world does this mean? Doesn't it imply that I know I am exaggerating but I messed up by overdoing. That is his mea culpa?! Who ever got him ready for his "close up" did him no favors. He was a disaster. I hope he loses all of it.
